User Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐in‐progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Bryan Hart. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.” |
TECHNICAL ASSIGNMENTS
Technical Assignment 1
This report features basic information about the standards used in the design of the Edenwald New Tower, in addition to detailed calculations of seismic and wind loads, an analysis of the lateral system, and spot checks of members.

Technical Assignment 2
This report investigates four alternative floor systems in comparison to the existing system of post tensioned, two way conrete slabs. The four systems are steel composite, hollow core planks, two way concrete joists (waffle slab), and two way concrete slab with drop panels.

Technical Assignment 3
This report provides an analysis and confirmation design study of the main lateral force resisisting system in the Edenwald New Tower. The building's fifteen shearwalls are examined under wind and seismic conditions to determine which controls, as well as being examined for shear and moment capacity, torsion and drift. ETABS was used to analyze the building's response to calculated loads.
